Join us for a fun 3-part educational series that will enhance your tasting skills.
In this 3-part series you will learn the science behind tasting wine, chocolate & cheese. Each month, we will break open the flavor and texture of one of these product categories into individual perceivable attributes, such as showing that “cola flavor” is a blend of spices, citrus, caramelized, sweet, sour, and bitter notes. We will practice using a large number of foods.

As you may have heard, Beth Mordecai is hosting a rededication of Safran Hall, our recently-remodeled social hall, on June 7. The hall is named after Rachel Wolff Safran, whose family is intimately intertwined with our congregation’s history. Rabbi Ari Saks had the opportunity to speak with her grandson, Henry Safran, and granddaughter, Susan Hermanos, about their family’s legacy in Perth Amboy.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating the facelift of our amazing hall, named after an amazing woman and amazing family.

We are so excited to announce the rededication of Beth Mordecai’s Safran Hall on June 7!
The afternoon will be filled with opportunities to celebrate our updated social hall. From raffle prizes and silent auctions to unlimited wine and desserts to high-shelf scotch tastings, the Rededication and Silent Auction is an opportunity to begin building brand-new memories in this newly-renovated space.
The rededication and silent auction commemorates and celebrates a wonderful update to our nearly 90-year-old building: the remodeling of our social hall, named after longtime member Rachel Wolff Safran. With new carpets, paint, curtains, and more, Safran Hall is a beautiful space to host small and large events alike.
